UPPER EAST hosts all the true classics you cannot miss. Places like The Met, Guggenheim, Jewish Museum, and Frick Collection, but in the past 5 years you will also find new Museums and Galleries that have joined the existing crowd of Art Institutions. This area of Manhattan was crowned the art epicenter in the 1950s, when post-war New York became the art capital of the world. Numerous local and European galleries opened their venues in the Upper East Side. It was promising and prosperous, whilst simultaneously vibrant and classical. Although Chelsea became the promised land in the late 1980s, the Upper East Side continues to have it's place, lately reinventing and given itself over to new trends, it hosts some ambitious and experimental projects that draw artists and viewers from all around the world.
